asked on Shared editing of PSD file with without a monthly fee
I need to be able to share a mock-up of a PSD file with another editor without a monthly fee.
So far, I have tried pixlr.com and fotor.com but neither solution seems fully capable of this type of shared editing of a fully layered PSD file.
Assistance in finding a completely web-based solution for this would be greatly appreciated.

For clarification, what does the other editor need to achieve? Full Photoshop capabilities, commentary, developer specs, or something else?

some photoshop capabilities
GIMP is free and supports PSD files (import and export), but some layers don't translate as well (effects may need to be rasterized or flattened). It's open-source and constantly being updated though.
I see many experts tout IrfanView, but I have not used this myself. I believe it is also limited to Windows OS.
If this is someone you trust, Adobe does allow install for 2 machines; however, this was intended for designers with multiple devices, not multiple users.

I'm looking for an online image editor that will allow me to share the web-based editing without having to manage local files at all.

I quick search led me to two more options. I have not used them myself; However, they both open PSDs and include layer editing:

So far, I have tried photopea.com, freephototool.com, and imgur.com and none of them appear to allow you to share an image that you are currently working on, online, with a second editor.

if what you're trying to do is see edit history, then I would save the PSD file on Dropbox. then every time you save the PSD file there will be history in dropbox.com. you'll still have to edit a PSD file locally but as you save it it will upload to Dropbox automatically. every save will become a version that you can get back at any time while at dropbox.com. this is how I work on my own projects.
what I meant is to work on the PSD file why the PSD file is on a local Dropbox folder. then you don't have to think about uploading Dropbox it will be done automatically with every save.

I have seen mixed reviews from ok to very good. The problem with most reviews is I don't trust whey they are written. I do think this is worth checking out though https://www.techradar.com/reviews/affinity-publisher
